Chuna Manual Therapy, Pharmacopuncture, Acupotomy —
what does my pain need?
There is no single fixed way to treat pain. Through an examination, we check the uncomfortable area and your movement, then choose the treatment you need.
When you look for a Korean medicine clinic because of pain, you come across many treatment names such as Chuna Manual Therapy (a Korean medicine hands-on therapy for the joints and muscles), Pharmacopuncture (a treatment that applies refined herbal extracts to acupuncture points) and Acupotomy (a treatment using a fine needle with a flat tip). But rather than choosing a treatment by its name, the first step is to check when your pain occurs and which movements make it uncomfortable.
